Michelin India launches new superbike tyres

Michelin has introduced two new tyres for superbikes in India. The company has launched the Pilot Road 4 and Pilot Power 3 tyre range for the Indian market.

These radial tyres have been designed and developed for motorcycles with displacement of 600cc and above. The Pilot Road 4 has been specially designed for wet conditions whereas the Pilot Power 3 is designed for sports and naked bikes. These bikes make sense for CKD models like the Kawasaki Ninja 650, Benelli 600i and also for CBU models like the Kawasaki Z800, Suzuki GSX-S1000. This new tyre range will be sold through Michelin’s stores across the country.

Michelin claims that the Pilot Power 3 has been developed with a combination of 2CT and 2CT+ technology, which offers more stability when cornering, especially under strong acceleration. This tyre also offers enhanced safety performance with a unique tread pattern that makes Pilot Power 3 best in class wet braking while delivering stability on steep angles without compromising with the pace.

On the other hand, the Michelin Pilot Road 4 are designed to deliver enhanced safety in all situations and an extended tyre life. Pilot Road 4 features XST+ technology, specially designed for outstanding wet weather braking. The company claims that it helps the tyre to stop faster on wet pavements and slippery surfaces.
